This plane was built by Douglas Aircraft Company in Santa Monica, California and completed on Christmas Eve 1942 as DC-3A-453 C/N 6346. Intended for Pan American Grace Airways as NC34953, she was promptly taken to military service on Dec 27 1942 and became C-53C-DO s/n 43-2033. She was bought by the State of Finland and registered on Jun 19 1948 as OH-LCH. It was sold to the Finnish Air Force on Mar 5 1970 and received call sign DO-11. The Air Force retired DC-3s in 1985, and she was sold to Airveteran Oy on Jan 15 1986 to become OH-LCH once again.
